The sequence is a series of film strips shot with my Canon AE-1, I scanned strips in and finished the job off with Digital Fusion.

I shot stills of neon lights, a book, and handrails at the Victoria Dock in London with multiple exposures.

Finally, time has arrived to once and forever say good bye to Middlesbrough and University of Teesside. Having spent the last two years of my life there I don’t mind moving on but of course I miss many things, including the relaxed life drawing sessions, Southfields pints, acoustic nights in Dickens and the many friends that were left behind.

And of course, the unmissable industrial sigh:

We paid a visit to the Holland Animation Film Festival in Utrecht! -> http://haff.awn.com/

Not only Utrecht was great, but we had the perfect cinema weather too, I got to see many good films I missed before.

Some of the highlights were, in my humble opinion, Don Hertzfeldt’s “I’m So Proud of You”, Jérémy Clapin’s Skhizein, Passeio de Domingo by José Miguel Ribeiro, La Maison en Petit Cubes by Kunio Kato (This year’s lucky Oscar winner).

I must say the Cartoon d’Or 2009 reel was the best one I saw – my personal favourites were Please Say Something (David O’Reilly) and Madagascar, Carnet de Voyage (Bastien Dubois). I spent as much time in the cinema as it was possible but I only got to see a fragment of the films that were showcased. Not surprising, the programme was a whopping 111 pages long!.

Here are the pictures of the trip on Flickr

The Rejects

I was digging through my old pictures and I came across my scans of the darkroom misfits. I just realised that the texture on the pictures provide something much more exciting than the original photos gave. It is good to come across old memories.
